Dear HAMSAT VO-52 users,
The commands to 'Turn On' the transponder # 2 (Dutch transponder, made
by Williams PE1RAH) on-board HAMSAT VO-52 was successfully sent during

confirmed by the telemetry. Subsequently, the transponder # 2 is now
'ON' and Williams CW message beacon was heard again after a gap of
approximately 6 years & 4 months.
The beacon signal was heard loud and strong here at Bangalore.
A detailed Initial reports addressed to:
